We’re evaluating mailing list software in order to start a few lists to support our B-Line Charting Components customers. We’ve pretty much decided on Mailman since it has integrated web administration and archives. I subscribe to one list that uses it and have been happy with it from a user perspective.
If anyone has experience administering Mailman or cares to share their opinions on a better alternative we’d be glad to hear them here.
The internet is a wonderful thing. It lets everyone from all over the world communicate with one another. At least, it does if they have a common language.
MAX looks like it’s getting great turnout including international turnout, as is evidenced by the international pings to MAX Bloggers.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to read all of the posts since I’m not educated in German and Dutch and my Portuguese is way too rusty. I guess this aggregator is a good example of why people should build language filters into the aggregator.
Ideally, it would be best to support all languages and let visitors specify which languages they can read and filter out all others. However, if an aggregator is written on short notice, totally filtering for just one language would work too.
RSS has a language identifier for this purpose, so aggregator should take advatnage of that. I’m not sure how many aggregators do filter on language, but I don’t remember seeing non-English posts in the MXNA, Full as a Goog, or FLOG.
I always thought it wasn’t possible to run more than one version of IE on the same machine until i stumbled onto this page by Insert Title Web Design. With the new EOLAS patent issues and other browser/versioning issues, being able to run multiple versions of IE might be handy to some.
It’s called “The Bastard Operator from Hell”, and if you are a computer nerd and you like evil comedy, you will enjoy reading some of it.

SOAP Web Services are almost always talked about in relation to HTTP, as HTTP is the most common transport mechanism. However, the SOAP specification is written such that the messages can be sent over a variety of protocols. Persistent connections such as Jabber or HTTP-R could provide improved performance when multiple calls are required.
Or, if you have other needs, carrier pigeons are also fully supported. Read the RFC.
